Resumo
Drawing upon data from in‐depth interviews with transgender people in Portugal and in the United Kingdom, this article critically reflects upon different ways through which transgender people recreate their gender displays, particularly in terms of gender embodiment and aesthetics, in order to navigate their everyday lives. I focus on four strategies of articulating gender displays with one's own gender subjectivities: 'blending in,' 'masking,' 'naturalizing,' and 'subverting.' These strategies are not exclusive of one another. They are used differently throughout the participants' own lives in accordance to the social contexts they were in.
